Actually, that happened to me tonight -- closed the lid, looked like it
went to sleep, then, later, turns out it was on and drained the battery.
[Might have been me -- I was using it as a pillow, probably not the best
of ideas]
But, for previous kernels, sleeping would either not work at all, or it
would work fine.

Except that BenH is continually working on his source, so your source is
not necessarily my source... [I believe]
I'll put up a source package (which I /think/ is the same as what I used)
tomorrow, when I get into work.

With 2.4.18-something, I noticed that using 2.95 made a difference (it
worked as opposed to not), but doesn't seem to now.

I think when the heart beat doesn't go the iBook is actually off.

Your build environment looks the same as mine.
